Idle animations are being created for the engine project. Jet Pack Jive will have its second demo released next week and hopefully the final version will be out soon after. I have a few ideas for the next game to be produced. It will either be a rail shooter psychic game similar to Cabal, a minefield puzzle game, a kamikaze-style side-scroller shooter, or a shooter based around causing massive collateral damage. More to come in the future.</span></div>MacDiverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02530657042882218320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978525192155685507.post-59751649259229185962011-03-05T13:41:00.000-08:002011-03-06T13:42:48.152-08:00Back on Track<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">New art assets for the two games are currently underway.

Sound will be an issue, as this is the first solo game I made with mutiple live enemies going through their routines without player involvement.</span></div>MacDiverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02530657042882218320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978525192155685507.post-48337592756192874602011-01-29T21:32:00.001-08:002011-01-29T21:34:19.997-08:00Elfing around<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">I just sent in a new color set for one of the enemies to make them more consistent with the other sprites I sent off in the past.

No real news this week due to work and holidays. Jet Pack Jive will be released no later than February 2011, and I am working out a few short game ideas to release afterwards. Possible future games include a sequel to Moody, a spacecraft invasion style shooter, a rule-based minefield game, and many others. More news about this after the final release of Jet Pack Jive.</span></div>MacDiverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02530657042882218320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978525192155685507.post-30461419439500423852010-12-18T22:13:00.000-08:002010-12-25T23:52:31.298-08:00Over Drawn<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Update time.

Things have been getting crazier as Christmas draws near. Hopefully I have a fully functional release of Jet Pack Jive in the next two weeks. I really want to end this year with at least one new game finished. I have some future game ideas for what to make after this, but 2010 has been a rough year. I may end up taking time off to work on another webcomic. More news to follow next week.</span></div>MacDiverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02530657042882218320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978525192155685507.post-78080187076517076182010-12-04T14:30:00.000-08:002010-12-04T14:30:00.354-08:00Getting Back Up<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Update Time!
